Chapter 102: Pulling

On the other side of Ma'anshan Wharf, Li Jing took the little sister's hand, reluctantly walked under the morning sun, early this morning, Li Jing sent the little sister across the river, and the little sister wanted to go back to eastern Henan to gather people.

The little senior sister hugged Li Jing's neck with her arms and said, "You have to be obedient, when I come back, you are not allowed to hook up with the little girl, you are not allowed to go to the Qinhuai River, you are not allowed to ...... Woo."

The little senior sister couldn't speak, for a long time, her lips parted, Li Jing pressed the tip of her nose against her forehead, quietly experiencing her warmth. Despite the reluctance in their hearts, it is not too early for them to go.

"It's time to go, be careful along the way." Li Jing took out two Colt 1835 revolvers and holsters from his waist. Tied around the waist of the little sister with a cowhide belt, there are also two boxes of 120-round bullet cartons and two spare bullet nests. Give it to her together.

These two pistols are craft pistols, and the rest of the parts are gilded except for the handle inlaid with ivory. Carved with intricate and exquisite patterns, very beautiful, Li Jing used for self-defense.

The little sister likes it very much, and often borrows it to fight guns, Li Jing's ammunition is bought on the platform, and the copper shell bottom/fire is fixed with bullets, which is not available in this era, and it is very expensive. The beating made Li Jing's flesh hurt. The little senior sister muttered that Li Jing was stingy every time. The little senior sister is much more talented in shooting guns than Li Jing, with a pistol 50-meter chest target, 98 rings in her left hand and 99 rings in her right hand.

The little senior sister is a typical person who doesn't like red makeup and loves arms, but I didn't expect Li Jing to be willing to give it to her this time, it was really a big surprise, and soon Li Jing's kindness was rewarded, and the little senior sister lifted her toes and kissed Li Jing on the forehead.

Li Jing hugged the little senior sister on the horse, this is a majestic Arabian horse, bought from the trench mirror, tall and long-legged, the little senior sister has a little trouble going up.

Li Jing then tied a bag of gold leaves and a bag of broken silver to her belt, and Bai Yu put two bags of copper coins on another pack horse, and a pack horse with the little sister's box and luggage, knives, swords, horned bows, feather arrows, and spears.

In the distance, there were more than a dozen young horsemen in green clothes and hats, two pretty girls, both carrying bows and arrows, hanging waist knives, and wearing short beats, who came to pick her up. These people were brought by the little senior sister, but they have been not far from Jiangbei, and the scouts have already found out, and Li Jing did not let anyone bother.

The teenagers watched the leader make out with people, a little embarrassed, and they all turned their heads to look away. The little senior sister was a little embarrassed, and punched Li Jing with a powder fist.

"It's all your fault, it's a shame to hurt others, I'm leaving" The little senior sister still could afford to put it down, and walked away with a dashing whip, and the dozen or so teenagers quickly surrounded it, and more than a dozen horses rode away.

The world's first practical revolver was invented by the American Samuel Colt in 1835, and before that, as early as the 16th century, arquebus wrenches appeared in Europe, and later flintlock revolvers.

However, Colt's previous revolver was not mature and had two disadvantages, one was that the runner needed to be turned by hand, or the hammer was pulled by hand to drive the runner into place, and then the trigger could be pulled to complete the single-action shot; The second is that the firing fire of the bullet must be solved, and the flintlock revolver, because it is too close, is easy to ignite the nest of the bullet and cause an explosion. So they are not widely used.

The revolver invented by Colt has a bottom/fire impact bolt and a spiral rifled barrel, uses a conical bullet shell, and pulls the trigger once to complete the two-step action of the runner to be fired. This gave the revolver head a real practical value for the first time.

Before the invention of thunder/mercury striking the bottom/fire, Li Jing still could not make a copper-shelled fixed bullet, and the flintlock revolver was too dangerous to equip the troops.

"Let's go, let's go back too" Li Jing turned to Bai Yu and the four maids and said, the group, get on the boat and return to the South Bank Barracks.

Ten days later, the battalion of Nanao Town, with 1,500 people on the register, 3,000 Li Jingjiading, 1,200 auxiliary soldiers, and more than 600 artillerymen, carried the three-pounder cannon that was rushed out. Board the ship and set sail.

Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin also brought 6,000 stone pillars and earth soldiers to the ship. The fleet transporting grain, grass and military supplies also set off in turn, and when they arrived in Nanjing, the newly renovated Flame Phoenix was moored at the Xiaguan wharf, and the crew of more than 300 people was composed of the crew of the original Feilaishan and the crew of the biochemical people purchased by Li Jing on the platform. After several renovations, the Flame Phoenix waterline and the outer walls of the gun bay. After riveting and adding a centimeter of steel plate armor and applying anti-rust paint, the protection capacity skyrocketed.

Li Jing's grandfather, Li Jing's family, the second uncle's family, Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin, Zhang Quan, the former secretary of the Taichang Dynasty's military department, and his daughter Zhang Fengyi all took the Flame Phoenix, which had the best living conditions, and the Li family and Qin Liangyu went to Tianjin Dagukou to Beijing. Zhang Quan's family went ashore in Yingkou and went to Liaoyang. Zhang Quan was also appointed as the Imperial Inspector of Liaodong, responsible for supervising Liaodong and stationed in Liaoyang. The Ming Dynasty patrol according to the imperial history "Patrol of the Son of Heaven", it can be seen that its position is high; "Big things are judged, small things are decided", which shows its weight; "All political gains and losses, military and civilian benefits and diseases, must be bluntly spoken", and he has great power in the local area.

Although she is very familiar with Zhang Fengyi, it is the first time she has met her parents, and she has heard from the family that the two families have formed a family of children and daughters, and Zhang Quan has already married Zhang Fengyi to Ma Xianglin.

Li Jing gave up the most luxurious aft cabin to his grandfather, and moved to the top floor of the back deck by himself, and the other guests were also arranged in different rooms at the aft. The Black Pearl followed.

The largest hall at the end is used as a dining room, living room, and activity room for everyone, and in the middle of the hall is made a precise sand table from Liaodong. Li Jing and his staff officers, as well as the ten generals, as well as Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin, and Shizhu generals, discussed the battle situation in Liaodong, and Li Jing's grandfather, father, and second uncle sometimes participated in the discussion.

Li Jing's famous admiral corridor and Zhang Quan and his wife, Zhang Fengyi, talked about the grim situation in Liaodong, Zhang Quan did not approve of Li Jing's pessimism, and Li Jing did not say much. just privately instructed Zhang Fengyi that if necessary, if Liaoyang is lost, he must take his parents out of the city as soon as possible, so as not to be caught by Jiannu.
